    Yes pwc (Phillips chipset) based webcams are well supported and have
    a good quality.

    Well Nemosoft stopped working on his driver but it's still avaible
    and working well with linux 2.4.x. Of course it's a little bit hand
    work to copy in all needed files. Anyway someone wrote a new, reverse
    engineered, driver. A friend told me that this driver works but I
    haven't tested it so far.

    I got my Phillips ToUCamXS via ebay for 13EUR including shipping.
